STATE BUDGET 2011–12 — ELECTRICITY CHARGES
I have a supplementary question. Why does the Premier’s definition of cost reflectivity include the dividend and income tax payments as revenue to Treasury? Mr C.J. BARNETT

AnswerView source ↗

Cost reflectivity is a term that I doubt the Leader of the Opposition has heard me use. Mr E.S. Ripper : I have heard the Treasurer use it. Mr C.J. BARNETT : I doubt I have ever used that term, because I am interested in the price to the consumer and the quality of the service.
